Wife has noticed binding at full lock. I was able to replicate and the. I would switch to 4H lock, then 4 L lock, and then back to 4H. After a few circles and reverse it feels bind free. Wait a few hours or drive the next day and the bind is back.
After a bunch of searching it seems that the TC shift fork can be the culprit. It also appears that early 2008’s could very well have the plastic fork like early models that was prone to wear / fail.
Since I’m the new owner, I have no idea on history and there weren’t any records provided. It certainly looks like the trans or TC have been removed before since I see zip ties and other tattletales of repair”. All the being said, is there a way to ID my TC? I understand that RPO codes would indicate, transfer case Nr4 or Nr6, but my glovebox sticker is illegible. Is there a way to physically ID? Like I mentioned I have the Adventure package since there is a 4L lock button. I would cringe to find out if the 4:1 TC was replaced with a service replacement 2.6:1 version......but I’m not too concerned about that right now.
I figure I’ll start with making sure there’s adequate fluid in the TC. Any guidance, comments, or technical details are very welcome.
